Why me Lord, what have I ever done
To deserve even one
Of the pleasures I've known
Why me Lord, what did I ever do
That was worth love from you
Or the kindness you've shown
Lord help me Jesus
I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus
I know what I am
Now that I know that I've needed you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand
Try me Lord
If you think there's a way I can try to repay what I've taken from you
Maybe Lord, I can show someone else
What I've been through myself
On my way back to you
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus
I know what I am
Now that I know that I've needed you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand
Jesus, my soul is in your hand
